Celebrating the cover of SI Swimsuit with Salma Hayek, Olivia Dunne, Jordan Chiles, and Lauren Chan

The launch party for the Swimsuit 2025 edition of “Sports Illustrated” was a glamorous event held at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City. The red carpet was adorned with numerous celebrities, including four remarkable cover stars who stole the spotlight.

Salma Hayek, Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, Jordan Chiles, and Lauren Chan exuded confidence, energy, and purpose at the celebration. They represented a diverse spectrum of ages, identities, and body types, each bringing their unique charm to the event.

During an interview, Hayek expressed her joy at being featured on the cover, describing it as a delightful and unexpected moment in life. She emphasized the importance of embracing unexpected adventures as they keep one energized and youthful. Hayek also mentioned her pride in representing women of her age with this achievement.

Dunne, a former elite gymnast turned model, reflected on her rapid rise in the fashion world. “I feel the most confident in myself than I’ve ever been,” she said.

For Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, the moment was deeply personal. “I never thought in a million years I’d be in this position,” she said.

Also making a powerful return to the magazine’s pages: model and fashion expert Roshumba Williams, who appeared in three stunning swimwear looks in this year’s issue. She walked the red carpet in a silver, sparkly, backless LaQuan Smith gown and reflected on her journey since first appearing in SI Swimsuit back in 1990.

“I was in disbelief that someone that looked like me was considered a standard of beauty,” Williams said. “Now, at this age, is still considered a standard of beauty.”
She added, “The pictures stood because I’m so unique. I’m so different. There’s no one that looks like this and represents this”-natural hair and all.
